Description
Looking at https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/JavaScript-Language-Service-in-Visual-Studio#-support-for-es6-and-beyond it states enableAutoDiscovery as an option in a tsconfig.json file.
But looking at https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig it does not seem to be an option available at all. Not on https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/compiler-options.html either.
I thus wonder if this is incorrect in that wiki, and if in general the docs in the wiki article are quite outdated and could use an overhaul? They do not seem to be exactly described the same as in https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/nodejs/working-with-javascript#_global-variables-and-type-checking and https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/jsconfig#_jsconfig-options

Research direction
Start with the TypeScript wiki article section “Support for ES6 and beyond,” then compare its tsconfig guidance with the linked tsconfig and compiler-options documentation and the VS Code JavaScript and jsconfig pages. Done means the wiki no longer presents an unsupported option and any outdated guidance in the scoped section is corrected or clearly identified for follow-up.
